Celebrity

Naked dresses are perhaps the most impressive of all red carpet feats. While they may not always make the best-dressed list, they do require a certain breed of celebrity to pull off. Not only do you have to have the balls to risk a wardrobe malfunction, but you have to do it with enough confidence that you look fierce — not terrified — in the photographs.
Take Naomi Campbell's appearance in Valentino's couture show during the spring/summer 2019 presentation. The legendary model gracefully strutted down the runway in a see-through gown with a ruffle skirt. (Click through the gallery for the NSFW photo).

Let's not forget Rihanna’s infamous CFDA dress either. The girl rocked a completely sheer dress without a bra — and later remarked that her only regret was not wearing a bedazzled thong to match. That, my friends, is dedication.
Then, there was the year 2015, when the Met Gala saw not one nor two but three naked dresses on the red carpet, all worn by Hollywood’s hottest A-listers. Jennifer Lopez, above, bared her famous curves in a custom Atelier Versace illusion gown. Beyoncé was nearly naked in Givenchy. And Kim Kardashian West almost looked modest in comparison in her sheer Roberto Cavalli dress, because no one’s getting naked without KKW joining in.

Hair

The beginning of the new year comes with the irresistible urge to start over fresh, which means it's a great time to get a haircut.
This decade's first big hair trends include looks at every length that can be tailored to your hair texture and personal style. For anyone with a blunt bob — the most popular haircut of the past few years — you probably already guessed that the cut will still be going strong into the next decade. But there will be a few tweaks.
As seen on Kerry Washington, 2020's bob has textured, softer edges, and looks amazing whether you part it down the middle or off to the side.

Daenerys approaches Sansa, Lady of Winterfell, to smooth over the tension between them — tension that’s been percolating since Daenerys arrived with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) at Winterfell. Sansa briefly thaws as she bonds with Daenerys over the difficulties of being strong women in power during a time when people aren’t inclined to accept female leaders. Daenerys even touches Sansa’s hand in a show of sisterly solidarity. But then, the conversation takes a turn: “What about the North?” Sansa asks. “It was taken from us. We took it back. And we said we’d never bow to anyone else again.” The meeting is interrupted by other urgent business, but not before we get a glimpse of Daenerys, who clearly realizes that it’s not going to be easy to win over Jon’s family — and that maybe, she doesn’t really have a good plan.

But even before Sansa makes it clear that Winterfell is her turf, her intentions can be inferred from a glance at her wardrobe. In contrast to Dany’s look — a soft, pale gray gown‚ Sansa is serving Northern fierceness in a black constructed leather bodice. The military-inspired shoulder details convey a level of seriousness and power that Dany’s attire simply doesn’t. In an interview with EW, Sophie Turner says “This is the first time I’ve had armor ... I wanted her to have a bit of armor and be more warrior like. She’s like the warrior of Winterfell.”

The sartorial hints are the most striking in the scene when Daenerys holds court in Winterfell, surrounded by the Starks and their Northern bannermen. At the head of the table, Sansa and Arya are both armed with their “Needles” — Arya wears her beloved sword, and Sansa dons her signature threaded-needle necklace. They are of the North, a realm of dark cloaks and fur-lined gowns, where solemnity and loyalty are revered above all. Daenerys’s white-blonde hair and light-colored clothing are visually out of place, reflecting her outsider status. While Daenerys has never been a slouch in the fashion department (who doesn’t covet that white coat?), Sansa’s bold new look in episode 2 easily steals the spotlight from the Mother of Dragons.

All of these Easter eggs aren’t really surprising. Throughout the series, Sansa may be the character whose styling choices have most reflected her internal motivations. In previous seasons, everything from her gown choices to her hairstyle have reflected her current environment, her secret loyalties, and her choice in mentors. She has mimicked the fashion of powerful women like her mother Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley), her potential ally Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer), and, most tellingly, her inspiration-turned-enemy, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey). Sansa’s new leather armor calls to mind many of the stunning black perforated gowns that Cersei donned last season when she finally became Queen of Westeros.

Sansa has come a long way since she was the young girl who dreamed of marrying a prince and becoming a queen. After two disastrous forced marriages, she no longer has need for a man. She tells her brother’s new girlfriend, “Men do stupid things for women. They’re easily manipulated.” In this moment, Sansa sounds more like Cersei, whose ultimate desire has always been to take the Throne without a king at her side. In HBO’s Inside the Episode, David Benioff says of the scene, “It’s very much coming at it from the point of view of a monarch trying to make peace with her subject, and Sansa’s not quite willing to accept Dany as her monarch yet. She’s suspicious of people for a reason.”

Decked out in her own new version of armor, Sansa is steadfast in her goal of defending Winterfell not just from the undead army, but from anyone looking to take her home away from her again. The Lady of Winterfell is not going to bow down to anyone else, and has no intentions of giving up the power she has fought so desperately to attain.
